Romney Rules Out Santorum as Veep

[brooklynite]

Source: Political Wire

Mitt Romney told Fox News that he would not pick Rick Santorum as his running mate because he's not conservative enough.

Said Romney: "Well, that would preclude, of course, Rick Santorum. Because, I mean, look at his record. I find it interesting that he continues to describe himself as the real conservative. This is the guy who voted against right-to-work. This is the guy who voted to fund Planned Parenthood. This is the person who voted to raise the debt ceiling five times? ... Rick Santorum is not a person who is an economic conservative to my right."

In case you missed it, Mitt wants you to know he's a CONSERVATIVE...

No, really...

1. It would be too messey.

2. I nearly choked on my food.

"Mitt Romney told Fox News that he would not pick Rick Santorum as his running mate because he's not conservative enough. "

LOL

Is this tongue in cheek or to rile Santorum.

[excuse not to write]

3. Romney's cheek is full of cheesy grits at the moment

His tongue is full of something else. What a living joke!

[cstanleytech]

4. Depends on your definition of "conservative" I guess.

For example my definition of conservative right now can best be summed up as "bat shit crazy idiots who need to remove their heads from their inside their ass before they die due to lack of oxygen"

[JJW]

5. Passing the big "C" test

in which "C" stands for clown.

6. Can't wait to see what paragon of conservative virtue he will actually pick as VP.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Newt Gingrich

You heard it here first.

[Kennah]

7. James Dobson, Mittens and Santorum took a shower. Which one held the biggest dick?

Give up?








Wait for it.








The Shower!

[Suji to Seoul]

11. Related question. Who is the biggest dick?

Love the joke.

It's like this John Rogers quote:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

23. Damn I love that one. Thanks for reminding me! nt

[Grassy Knoll]

8. I Smell A Romney/Trump ticket.....

Two rich guys who have no pity on the poor, That's the Piggycon base.
After seeing "Game Change" I wouldn't be surprised.

[Kennah]

13. Trump would never agree to be Veep

[Major Hogwash]

9. Romney is starting to sound like he is their nominee now, not just another candidate.

His poll numbers in the South have improved to the point they are near to Santorum's own poll numbers.
He just realized that he doesn't need Little Ricky to win over the South in the general election now.

romney /rubio ill put money on it

[Vanje]

14. Well , Rush Limbaugh might be needing a new gig

15. Saying openly that he is against raising the debt ceiling--i.e., taking necessary

steps to pay the debts we have already incurred--shows that he is too irresponsible to be president.

[The Wielding Truth]

27. If he doesn't understand that we have to stand by our debts, he is totaly not pres. material!

[Permanut]

16. So I guess Palin is out...

We won't get to hear about how this current President has refudiated the squirmishes of the American people, and how we've got to stand with our North Korean allies. She'll have more time to read all of the newspapers in the world that way, though.

[JI7]

17. So Mitt is saying he is More Conservative than Santorum ? so when Obama says Mitt

is even more right wing than Santorum in October it will not be an issue, right ?

[nxylas]

29. No, it won't be an issue

It will be an OUTRAGE!!!11 (like everything else Obama says or does).

[progressoid]

18. Oh, that's rich.

[Firebrand Gary]

19. Like we believe that. Let's all just agree that the VP is either Christie, Rubio or Martinez.

The GOP is going to follow their same ole strategy. Last minute announcement in an attempt to ride a manufactured wave to the election. They are going to choose a VP that is a "future leader" in their party.

The not conservative enough comment is a poor attempt on Romney's part. What a troll!

[craigmatic]

20. If you look past the rhetoric, it seems like they need each other because they appeal to different

republican base voters.

[Botany]

21. Well Mitt has always been a man of convictions

After all I can't thing of one time he has every flipped on anything he
has said on any topic.

Do I need one of these?

[Chorophyll]

22. Glad he ruled him out. Sorry about the ludicrous b.s. reason he gave. nt

[madokie]

24. Hey mitt

you are a slimy greedy pig.
My apology to the real pigs except for rushbo, that pig gets no apology from me

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. Here is Mitt's most likely running mate...

[The Wielding Truth]

26. Palin is available. nt
